December 21, 200718 yr Author Don't be so sure, it could be me under that coconut. Think about it, it's my amp. Florida = palm trees. The last time I was in NH, I don't recall any palm trees up there. I figured it was some kind of threat of what would happen if I showed up at CanJam without the amp...
December 21, 200718 yr I figured it was some kind of threat of what would happen if I showed up at CanJam without the amp... If you have that amp by the time CanJam rolls around you better not show up. I am one tall, skinny scary white dude.

December 21, 200718 yr I gotcher back nate, we can take him. I'm warning you guys, jp's nickname for me is Hong Kong Jewy.
December 21, 200718 yr Author If you have that amp by the time CanJam rolls around you better not show up. I am one tall, skinny scary white dude. I thought you wanted the full SinglePower experience? And you think I'm not a tall, skinny scary white dude?
December 21, 200718 yr I thought you wanted the full SinglePower experience? And you think I'm not a tall, skinny scary white dude? Maybe so but you look like Vince Vaughan for god sake. Granted, he can play dodge ball but come on, no one calls you or him Hong Kong Jewy. I rest my case. And if I wanted a ridiculous wait time, I would have called Mikhail.
December 21, 200718 yr Author And if I wanted a ridiculous wait time, I would have called Mikhail. Quite frankly, I'm enjoying the amp too much to take it apart. Been working from home at night and it's been good company. :tease:
December 21, 200718 yr Quite frankly, I'm enjoying the amp too much to take it apart. Been working from home at night and it's been good company. :tease: Keep it for a while. Oz isn't rushing me on my decision between the Berendsen integrated and the amp. I just discovered that the integrated has a headphone out on the back. I need to get the code to enter which disables the speaker out and activates the headphone out. I also, need to get headphones. Vicki, where are you? I need to drop by.
December 21, 200718 yr Author Keep it for a while. Nah, I'm just messing with you. Nugget Audio prides itself on fairly accurate, somewhat reasonable turn-around times.
December 21, 200718 yr Mike, just tell me which headphones you want and they're yours. btw, my lunatic brother and sister-in-law are threatening to show up. He's the one whose hobby is collecting high-end watches. When he comes to Florida, he usually brings around 5-10 to trade or sell with dealers in the area. I don't know if you're still interested in checking them out. Some of them could pay off my mortgage, but even the more reasonably priced ones are unique and beautiful. Since he's an artist, a nut, and a small-time collector, he has really good taste with an eye for rare quality. He's also a walking database of watch info.
December 21, 200718 yr Are you working this weekend. I figure if I could borrow the 600/rnb, that would be cool. Just until I find a pair of rs-1/ms-pros.
December 21, 200718 yr Mike, I still have the 650s packed up for you. Just shoot me an address and they are on the way.
December 21, 200718 yr Mike, I still have the 650s packed up for you. Just shoot me an address and they are on the way. I will send you a pm. Thanks. Vicki, your still not off the hook, if I can get them this weekend until Tom's arrive.
December 21, 200718 yr Are you working this weekend. I figure if I could borrow the 600/rnb, that would be cool. Just until I find a pair of rs-1/ms-pros. Yeah, I'm picking up some OT to offset x-mas purchases. I'm going to work tonight and pretty much staying there till Monday. I'm off on Monday, though.
December 21, 200718 yr No problem. My office party is Monday so I will likely be unable to drive afterwards. It's at 11:30am.
December 21, 200718 yr Just a reminder about giant blackgates and palm tree beer holders from the Casino thread. Beware the beer dispensing palm trees!!!
December 21, 200718 yr If you have that amp by the time CanJam rolls around you better not show up. I am one tall, skinny scary white dude. Especially with a set of K1000s on your head!
December 21, 200718 yr I think it was murder. Jamato8 was seen in that tree just prior to the coconut falling. Now that was funny. I heard vcoheda gave him a leg up to help. No, John's a good guy and not a fanboy. vchoheda is a huge RSA fanboy and might have done it, but I would think he would try to sue you to death.
December 21, 200718 yr Especially with a set of K1000s on your head! He sold his K1000s (and all his headphones!) is now left to begging from poor neighbors. It's a sad day for the tall, skinny, soon-to-be drunk on Monday, scary, white dude from Florida (except for the fact he got some kick-ass speakers to listen to as compensation).

It's a sad day for the tall, skinny, soon-to-be drunk on Monday, scary, white dude from Florida (except for the fact he got some kick-ass speakers to listen to as compensation). Vicki is correct about everything except I will probably have a good buzz, maybe not drunk, by tonight. The speakers are kick ass and if the choice was between them or K1000/headphones, the choice would be easy, I already made it. Since I don't have to make that choice I am now shopping for cans. Thanks to offers from Tom, Vicki, Al, jp..., I will not have to rush the decision. If only Gene wasn't a traitor, I might have HP2's.

I'm sure that this is all true, but he's still scary with a set of K1000s on his head!
December 21, 200718 yr I'm sure that this is all true, but he's still scary with a set of K1000s on his head! Very scary.
December 22, 200718 yr Author So I moved the MPX3 back into my main rig tonight and did some shuffling of components so that I can use it to do a little relative comparing of my two primary sources. Made a somewhat troubling discovery, with the MPX3 being fed by my DAC I'm on the first click of the stepper and it's plenty loud with my HD650s. Two steps was too much. Granted, I listen softer than the average person but having no adjustability is a little scary. Any alternate tube suggestions that Mike might try? I'm guessing he might want to investigate them.
